Alfred Northrup Lowenstein ’34

Body

Al, who only a few years ago, wrote, "I am still swimming a mile almost every day," died May 6, 2004, at Morris View Nursing Home, in Morristown, N.J. He was 91.

With his wife, Marian Prince, whom he married in 1942 and who predeceased him in 2000, Al ran the Jodo Gift Shop in Morristown. His younger son, Robert, joined his parents in the store, allowing them to spend at least three months every winter in Florida, where Al kept busy, in his words, "playing some bridge, doing the crossword, and trying to hang in there."

Al was a loyal Princetonian and a great reuner. He is survived by two sons, Arthur P. '71, a former class president and secretary, and Robert, and five grandchildren. Memorial contributions may be made to Temple B'Nai Or, James St., Morristown, NJ 07960.
